their english is the equivalent of a 3 year old....(for most of them) its not their fault they just dont understand you... most of them really do TRY though. Puma is actually my favorite player as well. i traveled over 2000 miles in large part just to see him. but ill give you an idea of what they are like, and you can decide if they are boring

-Clide- first korean i met. i met him in the lobby of the hilton on the first day (nearly every pro stayed at the hilton, its connected to the convention center) it was about 10am (early for the event to start)i was wearing my EG jersey (from split reason) and he walking around nervously alone bc he was clearly lost, i woke up to him and say "Clide!" and he smiles and points at me and my shirt and says "you pro gamer?" i said smiling "no, me PuMa fan!" and then he start smiling says "where Puma?" and i tell him I dont know and i walked him to the convention center (where Ryung and Alicia where it turned out) and he said thank you and joined them. not awkward, REALLY nice. never really was a clide fan, am now.

-MC- he may be wild on stage, but hes not at ALL otherwise, if anything, hes a little stuck up

-Leenock- on the convention floor, NEVER stops smiling, didnt really speak english, but knew i wanted an autograph and signed, understood the baby stuff (plz, thank you, fan) but was great lol, like a little smiling budha

-Alive- i though he may be a little hard to find due to how good he was, walked around with Polt all day and signed for people, understood a little. once again super nice.

-Zenio-if im not mistaken, he speaks good english, i didnt really get to talk to him much, but he seemed the most charismatic of every korean. always stood in the crowd with us near the open bracket area, and clearly didnt mind talking to people.

-MKP- all smiles, ALL the time. that signature MKP smile that makes fangirls (and boys) wilt. even signed for me as he watched Puma, and i thought he would be sad, bc i caught him right after Stephano beat him. still happy. and would take pics with people.

-Symbol and Polt- alot like Alive, they walked around all day and were happy to meet/sign for people. (Symbol was quite popular due to the recent GSTL raping he delivered)

-PuMa and JYP- FINALLY met Puma, he was happy, hes really shy, but i managed to catch them psuedo-alone. i told him "you my favorite player, i travel here just for you!" and he smiled shyly and did the "hand through his hair" thing he does when hes about to talk for a translator. and says "thank you!"i totally forgot how JYP was bc i was too busy swooning at Puma. id imagine he was cool though lol.

-Choya, Lucky, Leta (kespa player) and Oz- they were watching Puma vs Ret with me on the side stage. i was quiet for a bit bc the Koreans really didnt come out the crowd much at all after day 2 bc they ALWAYS got mobbed. so i let them be, after puma won the first game,i turned and said "Leta, i watch you in BW!" Leta looked alot differnt then his TLPD pic so im pretty sure almost noone recognized him, and when i said that he got happy/shy and said he was thankful and "he try to play good for me tonight". the other three were equally happy

-Bonus-Stephano- not korean, but jsut as bit as happy and friendly as you could imagine, he took pics and hung out with us EVERY day, and partied with us even, Kid is crazy, him and Bling are freaking hilarious when drunk. on the third night after everything around 1am, we were coming out of our hotel room party and he's the hall with 2 chicks, and he sees us, starts smiling and they start hurrying down the hall. and he trips bc hes drunk and we start teasing him the hall and hes laughing and he disappears into one of the rooms with them. ill let you make up the rest, but im pretty sure i knew what i saw lol.

one side note about the koreans that u may not realize on online. they all bascially know each other/are friends, and they all like to hang out. even with the kespa players and such. and its hard to interact with your american fans when its challenge to understand them, then where you start getting mobs by dozens of people. of course they start to retract and dont mix with the crowd. its an overload. hell the american players do it, and they can understand us.

i could tell you how Huk got kicked out of the arena for a while on day 2 if u want, funny, but not fan club-ish

TL;DR- Koreans arent boring, stop assuming so just because they dont talk much.

Edit- and those were just the ones i remembered off the top of my head that i actually got to talk to a lil, i walked to nearly EVERYONE this weekend, including more of the Kespa players. but this took forever to write lol, theres probly typos as well, sorry ; ;
